Helping People Regain Life Through Neurotechnology

“I was born with severe hearing loss and lost the remainder of my hearing ability in 2001. My cochlear implant allows me to hear. It also lets me experience hearing in a profoundly new way, which is fascinating.”

“The Functional Electrical Stimulation implanted system exercises and fatigues my leg and stomach muscles, notably after a stressful day when spasms can be severe. I also benefit from the muscle contractions by having more regular bowel movements.”

— Alexander G. Rabchevsky, PhD —

“Freedom. The drop foot stimulation system gives me freedom from a wheelchair and the ability to do normal activities with my bride and five kids. There is really nothing I can't do now or anywhere I can't go now.”

— Duane Morrow —

“Using the drop foot stimulation system means I can drive my car knowing that I can comfortably make my way from wherever I park to my destination.”

WELCOME TO NEUROTECH NETWORK

OUR MISSION

Neurotechnology is the application of medical technology, devices and treatments to improve functions throughout many parts of the body. Hundreds of thousands of people with neurological or psychiatric disabilities have already been helped by neurotechnology.

For instance, cochlear implants help restore hearing to the deaf, neural prosthesis provide movement to the paralyzed, deep brain stimulation supresses tremoors associated with Parkinson's disease and spine stimulators give relief to those with chronic pain. These are just a few examples of the many medical technologies for people with disabilities that are available today.

Neurotech Network is a non-profit organization dedicated to improve the education of and the advocacy to access neurotechnology for persons with impairments. Learn about how these new alternative therapies and cutting edge medical treatments impact the lives of people with neurological and psychiatric illnesses, diseases and disabilities.
